House Energy and Commerce Committee Democrats defeated multiple Republican amendments Monday during the first day of marking up of President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion “Build Back Better” spending program that is the most massive package of reforms in American government and society since the New Deal.
Committee Chairman Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) called the program “transformational” and said “the Build Back Better Act will create a clean energy future that produces millions of good paying jobs right here at home.”
